СКАЧАТЬ but he had not advanced many steps when it returned. He now perceived it to issue from the mouth of a cavern, and cast a bright reflection upon the overhanging rocks and shrubs.

      He dismounted, and followed by two of his people, leaving the rest at some distance, moved with slow and silent steps towards the cave. As he drew near, he heard the sound of many voices in high carousal. Suddenly the uproar ceased, and the following words were sung by a clear and manly voice:

      SONG

      Pour the rich libation high;

      The sparkling cup to Bacchus fill;

      His joys shall dance in ev’ry eye,

      And chace the forms of future ill!

      Quick the magic raptures steal

      O’er the fancy-kindling brain.

      Warm the heart with social zeal,

      And song and laughter reign.

      Then visions of pleasure shall float on our sight,

      While light bounding our spirits shall flow;

      And the god shall impart a fine sense of delight

      Which in vain sober mortals would know.

      The last verse was repeated in loud chorus. The duke listened with astonishment! Such social merriment amid a scene of such savage wildness, appeared more like enchantment than reality. He would not have hesitated to pronounce this a party of banditti, had not the delicacy of expression preserved in the song appeared unattainable by men of their class.
